Monte Poole, of the Oakland Tribune, reports Oakland Raiders FB Lorenzo Neal insists better days lie ahead for the team. The Raiders are 24-72 in the last six seasons. "I can honestly say - and I've been in a lot of places - that this team is doing a lot of the things that good teams I've been on were doing," Neal said. "What better place - especially with the odds stacked against you? Everyone is asking, Why? What's up with the Raiders? Why would you go to the Raiders?' Hey, the year before I went to Baltimore, they won five games. Last year, we were in the AFC championship game. Last year, people might have asked: 'Why Baltimore?'"
